Description

Plant belongs to the post-hippie category of natural food restaurants that have a full bar with 12 kinds of scotch and the occasional glimpse of duck confit as well as quinoa and tempeh in great variety. It's as dark, high-ceilinged, and classy as many a standard inorganic restaurant, with blond-wood accents, lovely bay views, what can only be described as three-dimensional plant art, and even a totally nouveau wood-burning pizza oven. And the menu features food that's not only healthy and natural, it tastes good: big beautiful salads, perfectly grilled seafood, and the house-specialty Plant Burger, a delectable mashup of beets, cashews, lentils, and mushrooms. (Smaller outposts at California & Pine and at Steiner & Chestnut offer juices, smoothies, salads, and pastries.)
